Our conversation covers Jeff's creative process, the blending of supernatural elements with human struggles, and his characters' deep emotional journeys. Jeff also shares personal anecdotes and discusses the themes of grief and addiction in his writing, while providing insights into the book's setting and narrative. We explore the inspiration and research behind the story, as well as Jeff's transition into the horror genre and his upcoming sequel.
